“Hey Bette is this all there is?” Shane asked as she helped load the suitcase’s into her car.
“That’s it Shane,” Bette replied. “You did not have to wait long for the plane did you?”
“No, actually I was a little late anyway,” Shane said grinning. “So tell me why you just got back into town and you already look like you have managed to lose your very best friend.”
Smiling softly at Shane, Bette replied, “I just can’t believe how much I miss them already.”
Shane pulled the car onto the expressway and headed toward Bette’s house. “Bette what if there had been no Liza?” Shane asked softly. Suppose that Tina had been injured in an accident instead of having been pregnant? I know that you love her Bette, but would it still be happening like this?”
Bette sat silently gazing out the window. “Shane you of all people know how much I love Tina.”
“I am not doubting that Bette, but is that enough?” Shane whispered softly.
Bette pushed her hair behind her ear and looked at Shane, “I have never loved anyone the way that I love Tina. It is so hard for me to even try to put into words how much she changed my life. Before I met her everywhere I turned I felt like something was missing but I didn’t know what it was. I had a great job, a nice house and a great car but all of that never filled the need I had deep inside. Sometimes when I came home the quiet of the house would literally smother me. I never found comfort in being with anyone that I had ever dated either, but when we began dating, I realized that she was what was missing from my life… she is my life.” Bette absently wiped away a tear before continuing, “When I am with her words are so unnecessary, in our silence we spoke volumes. When I had an absolutely horrible day all I had to do was walk through our front door into Tina’s arms and I knew that I was right where I needed to be… I was home. As she would hold me, instead of the silence scaring me like before, I found comfort and shelter in it. The only sound that I needed to hear was the beating of her heart.”
Looking away from Bette, Shane swallowed hard and fought to control her own tears. “I want that kind of love Bette. I want to know that out there somewhere is the one person who completes me and that we will eventually find each other. Thinking about what the two of you share makes me so happy for both of you. To know that you have found your soul mate… I don’t pretend to understand what happened with Candace or why Tina chose to leave L.A. Well actually I do, it was Candace but I swear to you Bette that sometimes when she looks at you, you can actually see the love in her eyes, on her face, in her soul. It is amazing to see… you guys together again… fucking amazing!

So glad you are back. I understand how hard it must be to write this story after the way Season 3 ended, but at least in the land of fanfiction out Bette and Tina can be together where they belong.
Yeah! I’m glad that you’re back! I started writing fanfic because S3 was bringing me so down! I’m in denial that s3 happened! Long love Betina!!!

I’ll tell you what’s amazing. You posting again. Amen! Sometimes when I think anbout Ilene it’s almost as if I’m thinking aboyt a natural disaster…look at all of the devestation she’s left due to S3 (or as I like to call it, the lost season). Please, please, please post soon!
Welcome back and as others before me have stated we need you because of what Bette and Tina mean to us. They were treated horribly by someone who professes one thing but shows us another. By writing about our favorite couple you not only heal our hearts but your own. Thank for your stories and for your insight into Bette and Tina.
Like I’ve said before, S3 was a crock of shit. I’m glad you’re back and working on this story. B&T are really lucky to have Shane and Alice as friends who can give them a swift kick in the rear when they need it.
